Duplex with UMTS ?

Duplex – separation of uplink and downlink

Both concepts are used:• FDD: Frequency Division Duplex, use pair of frequencies/spectrum in parallel (same as GSM)• TDD: Time Division Duplex, unpaired frequencies/spectrum, time division of Downlink/Uplink

7.3. WCDMA Principle(I) : Spread Spectrum

• WCDMA is a spread spectrum transmission where the users signal is broadcast over the entire frequency spectrum along with signals from other users.

• This is similar to a situation at a party where everyone is talking simultaneously. The brain picks out the conversation listened to from all of the other simultaneous conversations.

• WCDMA works in a similar way such the transmission/reception hardware can extract one particular transmission from all the others by 'tuning' the receiver to a particular transmission using a special coding technique.

• This is simultaneously performed for all of the transmissions in a cell

Multiple Access with CDMACDMA - Code Division Multiple Access

Fixed channel size with GSM (combination of FDMA and TDMA) : Division of frequencies, each channel division into cyclic time-slots

Three transmissions using FDMATime

Bandwidth ofsignal

Three transmissions using CDMA

Frequency

Time

Signal 3 (Code 3)

Signal 1 (Code 1)

Idea of CDMA:• uses the whole bandwidth all the time• channels are separated by “codes”• a radio signal (e.g. voice data) with a narrow band will be transmitted using amultiple of the necessary bandwidth (signal spreading)

• broadband signals of several channels will be added on the medium “air”

• different channels use “orthogonal” codes• the receiver is able to filter out a specific channel with its code

=> cf. subsection3. Wireless Communication Basics

Spreading and scrambling of user data

• Constant chipping rate of 3.84 Mchip/s

• Different user data rates supported via different spreading factors– higher data rate: less chips per bit and vice versa

• User separation via unique, quasi orthogonal scrambling codes– users are not separated via orthogonal spreading codes

– much simpler management of codes: each station can use the same orthogonal spreading codes

– precise synchronisation not necessary as the scrambling codes stay quasi-orthogonal

Core network

• The Core Network (CN) and thus the Interface Iu, too, are separated into two logical domains:

• Circuit Switched Domain (CSD)– Circuit switched service incl. signaling

– Resource reservation at connection setup

– GSM components (MSC, GMSC, VLR)

– IuCS

• Packet Switched Domain (PSD)– GPRS components (SGSN, GGSN)

– IuPS

• Release 99 uses the GSM/GPRS network and adds a new radio access!– Helps to save a lot of money …

– Much faster deployment

– Not as flexible as newer releases (5, 6)

Support of mobility: handover

• From and to other systems (e.g., UMTS to GSM)– This is a must as UMTS coverage will be poor in the beginning

• RNS controlling the connection is called SRNS (Serving RNS)

• RNS offering additional resources (e.g., for soft handover) is called Drift RNS (DRNS)

• End-to-end connections between UE and CN only via Iu at the SRNS– Change of SRNS requires change of Iu– Initiated by the SRNS

– Controlled by the RNC and CN

7.6. Breathing Cells

• GSM– Mobile device gets exclusive signal from the base station – Number of devices in a cell does not influence cell size

• UMTS– Cell size is closely correlated to the cell capacity– Signal-to-noise ratio determines cell capacity– Noise is generated by interference from

• other cells• other users of the same cell

– Interference increases noise level– Devices at the edge of a cell cannot further increase their

output power (max. power limit) and thus drop out of the cell no more communication possible

– Limitation of the max. number of users within a cell required

– Cell breathing complicates network planning

7.7. Some current/further enhancements

• GSM– EMS/MMS

• EMS: 760 characters possible by chaining SMS, animated icons, ring tones, was soon replaced by MMS (or simply skipped)

• MMS: transmission of images, video clips, audio

– EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for Global [was: GSM] Evolution)• 8-PSK instead of GMSK, up to 384 kbit/s

• new modulation and coding schemes for GPRS EGPRS– MCS-1 to MCS-4 uses GMSK at rates 8.8/11.2/14.8/17.6 kbit/s

– MCS-5 to MCS-9 uses 8-PSK at rates 22.4/29.6/44.8/54.4/59.2 kbit/s

• UMTS– HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access)

• initially up to 10 Mbit/s for the downlink, later on 20 Mbit/s using MIMO-(Multiple Input Multiple Output-) antennas

• uses 16-QAM instead of QPSK

7.8. IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS)

IMS* represents an overlay network on top of cellular networks and provides an all IP service delivery environment for mobile multimedia service provision.

* IMS is the “IP Multimedia System”, standardised by the 3rd Generation Partnership Projekt (3GPP), http://www.3gpp.org

Why do we Need an IMS?

• IMS builds on IETF protocols, to create a robust and complete multimedia system

• IMS defines common interfaces to adopt new and integrated application services

• IMS enhancements and operational profiles provide support for operator control, charging and billing, and security

• IMS provides QoS, single sign-on, subscription, presence, and location

• SIP, and SDP for Session Control• DIAMETER for accounting• RTP, RTCP for multimedia data transport• COPS for policy provisioning• plus many others

• SIP, and SDP for Session Control• DIAMETER for accounting• RTP, RTCP for multimedia data transport• COPS for policy provisioning• plus many others IMS is designed for IPv6, but

support for IPv4 has been added in Version 6 of IMS

IMS – IP Multimedia Subsystem

Source: IEEE Communications Magazine, August 2006, pp. 75-81

The IMS “service platform” is/was designed by 3GPP (http://www.3gpp.org) to assist and control (multimedia) sessions established between peers. The peers willing to involve IMS in their sessions must us some of the IMS nodes as proxies for their session signaling.
